Final Fantasy Revenant Wings Review
Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings has incredible 3D visual effects with touch
screen controls which makes it easy for you manage your army. There are plenty
of mission types along with side adventures which make Revenant wings, a
successful version of the FF series.
The story of Final Fantasy Revenant wings can be split up to ten chapters and
each chapter has approximately 5 missions. Every mission has detailed and
fascinating story with pre-rendered cut-scenes in between. It takes us to the
city of Ivalice following the adventures of Vaan and his mates in the skies
above. It is a (RTS) real-time strategy game which manages to successfully
integrate the unique style of Final Fantasy series and potent storytelling with
lightning fast action that makes the game play very engaging.
Final Fantasy XII - Revenant Wings is neither a full-fledged RTS game nor a
complete role-playing game but it is combination of both and an odd hybrid which
incorporates certain features of both genres. You should understand this concept
to enjoy Revenant Wings so that you can set you expectations accordingly. Usual
RTS concepts like progressive unit construction and resource hoarding are
missing in this game and the gambit which are customized heavy command sets from
FF12 are available which provides control over autonomous artificial
intelligence of the warriors.
Final Fantasy XII is a huge game with adventures of Vaan, Balthier, Penelo and
Fran with same enemies as earlier versions. There are plenty of side quests
which involve engaging in encounters with other pirates and local fauna. You can
also design new weapons with the materials you gather during your journeys and
get trophies at end of each battle. Players can also spend crystals called
Auricite which shall be earned by them during missions for forging treaties with
cited monsters termed as Espers. These Espers will form major portion of the
combat forces and you must form treaties with various types of Espers to
increase the power of your army. At starting of each battle, you will have
mission specific goals that range from reaching a particular spot to defeating
all enemies and more. You can analyze the weakness and strengths of your enemy
and you can customize your forces accordingly. Characters and Espers are
classified as flying units, ranged and melee and each of them related to one
another. During beginning of combat, the chosen characters shall become leaders
of gang of Espers. The combats are fast-paced and you should pay attention to
detail in order to refill the ranks constantly.
Regarding the graphics, Revenant wings has very good cut scenes which are very
expressive. The assorted venues which you travel during the game are very lively
and vivid which expressive animation and amazing details. The battlefields are
designed in such a way to suit the isometric camera but some drawbacks in visual
effects include experience of some minor slowdown in graphics during large-scale
battles and occasional blotting out of enemies by the terrain objects. The
overall visual effects are impressive with a unique 3D world experience with
multiple sprite work throughout the game.
The Final Fantasy XII fans will definitely be impressed with a mostly similar
soundtrack in Revenant wings as most of songs including the amazing tune of
Rabanastre have been directly ported across without any changes. The game play
is somewhat slow and game controls are annoying especially while selecting the
heroes when they gather up as bunches during battle scenes. The game is focused
for single player experience and does not have any network connectivity support
either through LAN or Wi-Fi.
Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings has an impressive CGI with amazing visuals,
inspiring music and innovative RTS like game play. There are plenty of side
quests in the game and the story line is impressive which makes it interesting
game for all hardcore gamers.
